Greetings from the Critique Club!

Your submission meets the challenge topic: Chips. Why did it score so low? Here are a few suggestions:

At first glance, the composition is very busy. The subject (stack of chips) is not set apart from the background sufficiently. The lighting does not benefit the subject - it is coming from an unfortunate direction and casting a shadow on the side we, the viewers, see.

The shallow depth of field works in part to highlight the subject, but in this case, it is a little too shallow - having the bottom part of the photo in focus would have lead the eye to that you want the viewer to see - the stack of chips.

The colors are a bit flat. Some adjustment of levels might have helped here.

That said, keep on shooting and submitting. There's no better way to learn!

Best,

Alicia
